What is TV Drama?

Tv drama is a scripted piece of television that is normally fiction, but sometimes based on fact, real events or literature. It is usually shown in mini-series or as long one off programs that are of a similar length to feature length films. Unlike sitcoms, tv drama does not often revert to equlibrium and has one main plot running through series and sub plots for each episode. Some examples of series are Heroes and Life on Mars. One off specials include 'My Boy Jack'(ITV, 2007) and 'Goodnight Mister Tom'(ITV, 1997).
